How can we help?

Start with the decision you are preparing for: acquisition, feasibility, design or a planning submission. The assessment catalogue explains each scope and deliverable. If the right scope is unclear, tell us about the site and we can help you identify the appropriate work.

No. You commission the assessment and Foreland prepares it. The optional site mapper can help you show us the site, but you do not need to select datasets, run calculations or produce a report yourself.

No. The free site preview and indicative EIA screener are starting points for understanding a site. They do not replace a commissioned assessment, specialist advice or a decision from the relevant authority. The scope and reliance of paid work are set out in the issued document.

Provide the site address or location, a clear red-line boundary, a short description of the proposal and any relevant deadline. Include related access or off-site works in the brief. We will confirm any further information needed for the assessment you commission.

Tell us which drawings you have. PDF plans, DWG/DXF drawings and GIS boundaries can all inform the brief, but their location, scale and suitability need checking. We will confirm what is needed for your assessment. The enquiry form accepts text only; do not paste confidential plan content into it.

Check the turnaround shown for your chosen assessment. Timing depends on a complete brief and usable site information. Where further evidence or specialist input is needed, agree the programme with Foreland before work begins. Tell us about any submission deadline in your enquiry.

Your chosen scope determines the deliverables. The assessment brings together the relevant findings, maps, source references, limitations and professional interpretation. Check the product description for the included documents and any specialist or editable outputs before commissioning.

A gap in a dataset is not treated as the absence of a constraint. Sources and limitations remain attached to the findings, and the report identifies where further evidence, survey or specialist review is needed. A desk-based assessment cannot establish conditions that require a site investigation.
